The potential for producing electricity in Maldives lies primarily in ocean energy. This includes marine current energy, wave energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Further feasibility studies are needed to determine the real potential and the best technological pathways and costs of these options.
In Maldives, the primary energy conversion is from diesel energy to electricity. Nearly 100% of all electricity produced in Maldives comes from diesel-based systems. The generation and distribution of electrical systems are decentralized, with each separate island operating a self-sustaining diesel power generation and distribution system.
Maldives has no proven fossil fuel reserves, but it has abundant renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and ocean (tidal, wave, and ocean thermal). The country has the potential to produce green hydrogen fuel using renewable energy. The future of energy in Maldives is powered by renewables.
The Maldives' energy transition is from being powered by costly and polluting fossil fuels to being powered by affordable and efficient renewable and cleaner energy sources. This Road Map serves as a guide for this transition.
While ASPIRE project addresses the need to increase PV generation in Maldives through private sector investment, Maldives envisions an ambitious goal of “carbon neutrality by 2030” along with an immediate target for 2023 to increase the share of renewable energy by 20% compared to 2018 levels.
